I mostly agree with you, but it's libs/Dems, not the left.

Why would she drop out, she's the leading eligible candidate.
This guy sounds real confused. He looked at bat and dog fetuses and thought that those were lifes? How many "lifes" did he terminate during his practice?
Mmm. And what's going to be the excuse after the New Hampshire primary next week?
Haley? As in Nikki "slavery wasn't a cause of the Civil War" Haley? Nikki "six week abortion ban" Haley? Nikki "withdraw the US from the Human Rights Council because of its 'chronic bias against Israel'" Haley?
Centrists: It's not all Republicans that support extremist candidates, there's still lots of non-extremists in the party!
Iowa caucus: Trump 51.0% DeSantis 21.2% Haley 19.1% Ramaswamy 7.7%
Leaving 1.0% or less that don't support an extremist candidate
Meanwhile on the other side of the coin, people have literally been shot and killed for having an extra item in their bag that they didn't pay for.
Maybe Musk should work harder on making his own automobiles not the most accident-prone cars on the road.
From 2021 to 2022 looks like a wash to me: around 700 fewer homicides but 700 more suicides (the number you cropped out of the screenshot). And the numbers for 2023 aren't final yet.
How has the rate of U.S. gun deaths changed over time?
While 2021 saw the highest total number of gun deaths in the U.S., this statistic does not take into account the nation’s growing population. On a per capita basis, there were 14.6 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2021 – the highest rate since the early 1990s, but still well below the peak of 16.3 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 1974.
The gun murder rate in the U.S. remains below its peak level despite rising sharply during the pandemic. There were 6.7 gun murders per 100,000 people in 2021, below the 7.2 recorded in 1974.
The gun suicide rate, on the other hand, is now on par with its historical peak. There were 7.5 gun suicides per 100,000 people in 2021, statistically similar to the 7.7 measured in 1977. (One caveat when considering the 1970s figures: In the CDC’s database, gun murders and gun suicides between 1968 and 1978 are classified as those caused by firearms and explosives. In subsequent years, they are classified as deaths involving firearms only.)

It's closer to 1 in every 80 who have been killed now (26,083 out of apx 2.1 million).
